August Charles

August Charles is an Alt-Soul singer-songwriter whose journey began in Ndola, Zambia, raised in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Deeply inspired by the emotional art of Frank Ocean and the smooth grooves of D’Angelo, he has crafted a sound that bridges the warm nostalgia of retro-soul with the adventurous textures of alternative R&B. On record, August’s work is defined by richly layered instrumentals, expressive vocal arrangements and thought-provoking lyricism. His songs unfold like intimate, intricately woven stories, each one delivered with raw emotional vulnerability and a keen sense of atmosphere. A magnetic presence on stage, August has shared bills with luminaries such as Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Emeli Sandé, Bilal, Gotts Street Park and Adi Oasis. He’s also stormed some of the UK’s biggest festivals, including Glastonbury, Love Supreme, BST Hyde Park, Dot to Dot and Kite Festival where his enthralling vocals and evocative storytelling continue to win over new audiences.
